Americans are discovering the massive underinvestment in the electrical grid. When you live in San Francisco, you can experience several power outages during the summer, and it's perfectly normal to have a generator at home. If you live like me in France, you can go several years without a power outage. You don't maintain your infrastructure, so you pay ridiculously low costs. And then, you're caught up in reality, here, dominated by data centers. And it's the fault of the GAFAMs ;)

Americans have to deal with the cost of living near data centres, and everyone on the planet has to deal with global warming. At least the AI companies are providing a free tier that almost anyone with internet can use.
